Torrisi is an acclaimed Italian restaurant in Nolita (from the team behind Carbone) known for two very different access paths: a dining room that requires a reservation released exactly 30 days in advance, and a tiny 12-seat walk-in-only bar counter for parties of one or two.
Reviewers describe the walk-in bar wait as substantial on busy nights — one account quoted a roughly four-hour wait on a weeknight around 6pm — and recommend showing up near 4:15pm to catch the 5pm seating. Dining-room reservations are reported to book up quickly once released at 10am, so acting right at the 30-day mark is the common advice.
Patterns as reported by press and regulars — not measured by damnlines.
Reservations: Reservations open 30 days in advance for parties up to 6 and are booked exclusively through Resy (also linked via Dorsia or by emailing [email protected]), per Torrisi's official site.
Walk-ins: Torrisi takes walk-ins on a first come, first served basis at its bar counter, per its official site, though it recommends booking the dining room in advance.
Reported guidance from reviewers: the walk-in bar counter can carry very long waits on busy nights — one account cited a roughly four-hour quoted wait on a weeknight around 6pm — with the suggestion to arrive around 4:15pm for the 5pm seating. (No live damnlines camera here yet — this is reported guidance, not a live count.)
Yes for the dining room — reservations open 30 days in advance at 10am for parties of up to 6. The 12-seat bar counter, by contrast, is walk-in only for parties of one to two.
Per its Yelp listing: Monday and Tuesday 5–11pm, Wednesday through Saturday 11:30am–2pm and 5–11pm, closed Sunday.
Reviewers suggest lunch (Wed–Sat) or arriving right at the bar's opening window is more manageable than a prime weeknight dinner hour, when the walk-in bar wait has reportedly stretched into hours.
Walk-ins are only accommodated at the 12-seat bar counter (1–2 person parties); the dining room requires a reservation booked 30 days ahead.
Yes - per the same source, Torrisi takes walk-ins first come, first served at its Bar Counter, while recommending a reservation for the dining room.
